Royal Bank of Scotland fixes data-stealing flaw

**Glaswegian** · 05-21-2008, 11:47 AM

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) has fixed a cross-site scripting flaw in its Worldpay Internet payments service that could have allowed attackers to steal users' credit card details, according to a report.

Adam Grit discovered the cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw in a secure payment page of the Worldpay site, RBS' Internet payments service, according to a report from IT industry journal The Register.

The flaw allowed third parties to inject content into the page, as Grit demonstrated with a pop-up window reading "Is it safe?"

An attacker could have taken advantage of the flaw to inject a false login box and steal user credentials, Grit said.
